Tangled Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. among the various legal arguments are The Stronach Group (TSG)=s charges against the trainer=s professional ethics, while Hollendorfer=s team questions the veracity of those assertions, as well as TSG=s own managerial competency. Back in June, Santa Anita management told the trainer to remove his horses from the TSG-owned facility, along with some 60 horses from Golden Gate Fields. The action was taken after four Hollendorfer-trained horses were catastrophically injured at Santa Anita during a six-month period, along with two at Golden Gate since November of last year. During this time, Hollendorfer has had no formal regulatory ruling against him. The hearing was originally scheduled for last Friday at the Alameda County Superior Court, but the judge postponed it until Friday, Aug. 30, for more time to read the extensive court filings. The judge also gave both sides a week to file additional briefs. The California Trainers (CTT) are co-plaintiffs alongside Hollendorfer.

Both Sides Lay Out Case Ahead of What appears the most damning testimony comes from California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) official veterinarian Dana Hollendorfer Hearing (cont. from p1) Stead, who writes that on the morning of May 18 of this year, According to CTT legal representative Darrell Vienna, the jockey Rafael Bejarano worked the Hollendorfer-trained backbone of their argument surrounds the 2018-2019 Blackjackcat (Tale of the Cat) five furlongs, after which the horse race-meet agreement that the CTT and the Pacific Racing pulled up lame on its left front. Association entered into in November of last year. According to Stead, Bejarano alerted him of the incident, and AI think the most important issue before the court during this the following morning--the day the horse was entered to race-- ex parte application is whether there is a breach of contract, and Stead examined Blackjackcat at Hollendorfer=s barn, where the that contract is the race meet agreement,@ Vienna told the TDN. trainer=s assistant Dan Ward was overseeing operations.

AIn my opinion, Blackjackcat never should operation. have been entered to race following that May 18 workout.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 9 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 28, 2019

Hollendorfer=s team filed Friday a number of supporting declarations by respected veterinarians, trainers, jockeys and owners--including Art Sherman, Doug O=Neill, and owners Terry Finley and Frank Stronach--that attest to the Hall of Famer=s character and his professional record. In his own filing, Hollendorfer disputes the various claims made against him, saying there were Aincorrect or false representations in all,@ including Stead=s. Hollendorfer paints a picture whereby Stead had agreed with Blackjackcat=s treatment plan, and that no diagnostic tests had been conducted prior to the horse being scratched Abecause doing so would require the horse be tranquilized, and all were concerned that might lead to a positive test,@ if the horse competed. AOn August 8, 2019, I spoke with Dr. Dana Stead while at Del Mar,@ Hollendorfer wrote. AAt that time, Dr. Stead advised me that at no time did he feel me or my barn had attempted to hide any injury to Blackjackcat or do something unprofessional or unsafe with the horse.@ Hollendorfer further claims that, ADr. Stead stated that he was aware throughout the week that the horse remained in training and that I and my barn would not object to Blackjactcat being scratched if there were any concerns about the horse=s condition later in the week.@ In his filing, Stead also claims that he had been informed Aby the official veterinarian=s secretary@ of a Adisturbing conversation@ that person had overheard Ainvolving Mr. Hollendorfer=s barn.@ According to Stead, the substance of this alleged conversation involved one of Hollenderfer=s personal veterinarians being coerced into signing a pre-workout slip to remove a horse from the veterinarian=s list. ASpecifically,@ Stead claims in the filing, ADan Ward, Hollendorfer=s assistant, advised this personal veterinarian that they needed to sign the form, or else the Hollendorfer barn would find another veterinary practice that would be willing to do so. The veterinarian signed the above-mentioned form and submitted it to the official veterinarian; however noted in the comments that they felt the horse was not sound to perform said workout. In my opinion, this is an improper practice by the Hollendorfer barn, and is not consistent with honest and safe practices in the horse racing industry.@ Jennifer Finley, one of Hollendorfer=s regular veterinarians at Santa Anita, argues that it was TSG who had pressured Hollendorfer to take actions that weren=t in the best interests of horse welfare. AAn example of his concern was highlighted recently when Santa Anita officials pressured him to allow them to purchase an injured horse, rather than to permit me to humanely euthanize the horse,@ she writes. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 9 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 28, 2019

ATo his credit, Jerry did not give in to those representatives In another twist, Frank Stronach, who=s currently embroiled in because he made clear that he wanted to do what was humane a bitter legal dispute with his daughter, Belinda, over control of and right for an obviously critically injured horse, regardless of TSG, adds fuel to the fire with his own declaration that takes the consequences he would eventually face from Santa Anita square aim at the competency of Santa Anita management. officials,@ Finley adds. Included is a letter Stronach wrote to the Los Angeles District In her 34-page declaration, Dionne Benson, TSG=s Chief Attorney=s office, which is currently investigating the equine Veterinary Officer, claims that two Hollendorfer-trained horses fatalities at Santa Anita. TSG, Stronach writes, Achose to catastrophically injured--Kochees (Lion Heart) and American maximize profits instead of investing in measures that would Currency (Exchange Rate)--had pre-existing injuries that should have enhanced safety.

Their failure to take action has resulted in last workout, which should have been observed by the trainer the needless deaths of numerous racehorses and has shaken the and triggered a request to have a veterinarian diagnose the public trust in the sport of horse racing.@ source of the lameness. Mr. Hollendorfer failed to do so, and instead entered Kochees in a race, leading to his demise.@ In TSG=s initial filing, there=s also repeated mention of a meeting June 22, the day American Currency was fatally injured, UPCOMING MAJOR between TSG representatives and Hollendorfer in which the trainer=s recent equine fatalities was allegedly discussed . TSG NORTH AMERICAN STAKES COO Tim Ritvo writes in his filing how AMr. Hollendorfer was Date Race Track Aug. 28 GIII With Anticipation S.

Monmouth President] Belinda Stronach wants you out,=@ after which he was given 72 hours to remove his horses from TSG=s California facilities, Hollendorfer writes. Furthermore, Kim Kuhlmann--one of Hollendorfer=s regular veterinarians in Northern California--disputes Benson=s claim that it would have been possible to identify Kochees=s pre-existing injuries. AI find that opinion to be unfounded and incorrect, given that I am told she never actually, personally examined that horse or had reason to have contemporaneous personal knowledge of the horse=s health and condition,@ Kuhlmann writes. Jeff Blea, a practicing veterinarian and current chair of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, supports Kuhlmann=s assessment that it is irresponsible to opine on a horse=s condition without having examined it. He adds: AThe effort to single out and blame Jerry Hollendorfer for the tragedies he experienced is inappropriate,@ calling the contributing factors to the deaths as multifactorial.

TEAM VALOR SPLITTING STAYING COLTS KINGMAN REIGNS OVER By Kelsey Riley DONCASTER The Team Valor International green and red silks have long been a familiar sight on the European turf, and they have been carried in recent years by the likes of Euro Charline (GB) (Myboycharlie {Ire}), Capla Temptress (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), Panama Hat (GB) (Medicean {GB}) and Devant (Fr) (Showcasing {GB}) as well as Axana (Ger) (Solider Hollow {GB}), a Group 3 winner in Germany last month. Team Valor=s British roster this year also includes a pair of ascending 3-year-old stayers in Spanish Mission (GB) (Noble Mission {GB}) and Technician (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}). While both hold entries for the St Leger, they will be split for their next starts, with Spanish Mission set to head to in New York for the inaugural $1-million Jockey Club Derby on Sept. 7Bnews first reported by Racing Post on Tuesday--and Technician lining up in the Leger at Doncaster the following weekend.

The ,440,000 record-priced Kingman colt | Sarah Farnsworth IN TDN AMERICA TODAY By Emma Berry BOTH SIDES LAY OUT CASE PRIOR TO HEARING DONCASTER, UK--The Goffs UK Premier Sale continued its Prior to Friday's hearing on whether or not to allow Jerry upward climb with a new record price of ,440,000 for a Hollendorfer to race at Golden Gate, both sides lay out their British-bred son of Kingman (GB) who will join the Coolmore cases. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. team for his racing days. Initially it looked as though the colt (lot 92) would end up in the ownership of either Shadwell or the Hong Kong Jockey Club as Angus Gold and Mick Kinane drove the bidding past last year's record high of ,380,000, but a late entrance in the gangway by the Coolmore group of Kevin Buckley, Mick Flanagan and Paul Shanahan ensured that he will be heading to Ireland before long. "We've been very impressed with what Kingman has achieved at stud to date to the extent that we have bought his son Calyx (GB) to stand at stud," said Buckley, who signed the ticket in the name of MV Magnier. "The team was very impressed with this horse and keen to get him." The horse in question was bred by Bob and Pauline Scott at their Parks Farm Stud from the Exceed And Excel (Aus) mare Shamandar (Fr), who carried their colours to listed glory in the St Hugh's S. and hails from a family which includes the hardy and talented duo of Undrafted and Reynaldothewizard.

I loved him in the spring when I went to see him at Mr. and Mrs. Scott's and I am delighted for them. They are lovely people and they have put quite a bit of money in so they deserve a good return like this. I spoke to them on the phone and they are over the moon. They are Pauline's babies and she hates being here when they are selling."

That decision to take buyers here and indeed we had about four of the biggest players her home was clearly justified as she ended the day as the most out there bidding on the horse.
